On Thursday 28th January 2010, i started baby r on AFTERNOON SNACK TIME! mil reminded me that baby r should be taking porridge in the afternoon... i pulled out my books and read on it. Yes, its time to feed her early dinner... but i didnt want to start her immediately on porridge... so i wanted her to have another round of brown rice cereal and i call this afternoon snack time! i tried another variation for the apple puree. Blueberry apple sauce!
the next time round i do this for baby r, i would make this on the very day i make the fresh apple puree! cos it was too watery when i boiled the blueberry separately with additional water. but making it for the 1st time, boiling the blueberry separetly, i got to see how the berries gave out the beautiful red and became softer! Next time i will try to boil the apples with the pears and half way thru take it our and scoop the soften flesh and boil with the blueberries with maybe alittle of the apples+pear drink... and serve it to baby straight away! regretted mixing the brown rice cereal with water... making it more watery and lack in taste! From now on, i will use milk everytime i make cereal! baby r didnt like the texture but she loves the combination as she managed to almost finish the cereal... if she dun anything, something is bothering her during the feed or if she is filled, she would not continue to take anymore and if you dun stop trying to feed her... she would start to Booooooo all the stuff out from her little mouth and it lands all over whoever is feeding her! just have to get the consistency right for baby r! When baby r is much older, i would give her the blueberries raw as its the best way to get the full range of health benefits from it!
One serving of blueberries provides as many antioxidants as 5 servings of broccoli, apples or carrots! It carries Ellagic acid which is an antioxidant that is thought to prevent the development of cancer. Blueberries also contain the antioxidant anthocyanins which strengthen blood capilllaries, improving circulation and helping to transport nutrients around the body - probably one of the reasons blueberries can enhance eyesight and protect against dementia, heart diesease and strokes. Also it has an anti-inflammatory effect on the body's tissues and are rich in tannins, which fight the bacteria that cause urinary tract infections. Eat blueberries 3 or 4 times a week for full immunity-boosting benefits.
